Global trends impacting how businesses manage energy spend
Increasing market deregulation and competitive energy procurement –specifically in Australia, NZ, USA, France, Germany, and Scandinavia
Organisations in deregulated energy markets are looking for smart, data enabled and automated SaaS technology platforms to help
manage their energy spend.
Cost of energy is real and rising -companies are seeking ways to reduce energy costs and optimise spend.
Transition to smarter energy consumption data capture i.e. introduction of ‘smart meters’ to capture and record in real-time
Energy costs are rising with demand for more sustainable energy sources in the supply mix
Consumers need access to smart sourcing technologies that maximise supply competition and optimise energy packaging.
Greater volumes of data that can be leveraged to reduce energy rates, optimise non-energy charges and validate bills
